Rapid Drug Desensitization to Platinum-based Chemotherapy Agents: A Single-center Experience.
Article in Thoracic research and practice, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectiveTo characterize the clinical features of patients with platinum-based hypersensitivity reactions (HSRs) and to evaluate rapid drug desensitization (RDD) outcomes across different platinum agents. MATERIAL AND
methodsThis retrospective study included patients who underwent RDD for platinum agents between 2019 and 2023 at a tertiary adult allergy clinic. Index reaction characteristics, RDD procedures, and breakthrough reactions (BTRs) were systematically recorded and analyzed.
resultsOf 2,131 patients receiving chemotherapy, 105 (5.0%) developed platinum-induced HSRs and were included in the analysis. The cohort comprised 75 (71.4%) females, with a mean age of 61.3±10.3 years. Carboplatin was the most frequently implicated agent (n = 56, 53.3%), followed by oxaliplatin (n = 35, 33.3%) and cisplatin (n = 14, 13.3%). Index reactions occurred at a median of 5 cycles (range: 1-20) and, according to Brown's classification, were mild in 26 patients (24.8%), moderate in 73 patients (69.5%), and severe in 6 patients (5.7%). A total of 430 RDD procedures were performed, with 62 (14.4%) BTRs occurring in 40 patients (38.1%). The proportion of RDD procedures completed without BTRs did not differ significantly among carboplatin (226/266, 85.0%), oxaliplatin (110/126, 87.3%), and cisplatin (32/38, 84.2%) (
conclusionThis study demonstrates that desensitization to platinum-based chemotherapy achieved high success rates and produced comparable outcomes across different platinum agents. Notably, HSRs to oxaliplatin were observed significantly more frequently among male patients than HSRs to other platinum agents.
